Ruler Trick for Scrapers

Chris Schwarz posted a nifty trick for prepping scrapers that I thought I’d point you to in case you didn’t see it. He grips the scraper blade with the ruler, sliding both along the stone, rather than sliding the blade over the ruler. And he uses a block of wood to distribute down-force over the edge of the scraper for uniform honing. Both good ideas!

The Perfect Edge

"... makes his new book 'The Perfect Edge' one that should not only be read cover to cover (multiple times), but owned and consulted regularly by any woodworker who is serious about his craft, and/or works with edged tools and/or likes their tools working at an optimum level... The book is beautifully presented, and absolutely jam-packed with well presented information... This is the bible on sharpening... If you but remember a fraction of this book, and put it into practice, your tools will be deadly sharp, and a pleasure to use." -- Stuart Lees
